Denver Ranks Second Most Gentrified City In The US

Denver Gentrification Grows During A Pandemic. Now What?

DENVER — A report from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) ranks Denver as the second-most gentrified city in the United States. Denver ranks second, just behind San Francisco & Oakland, with 27% of its eligible neighborhoods gentrifying during that period.

“Our report found that most cities in the U.S. are suffering from a lack of investment and not gentrification. This is not the case in Denver,” said Jesse Van Tol, CEO of NCRC. “In a previous report, we ranked Denver as the 18th-most intensely gentrified city from 2000-2013. Now, it is second. With COVID-19 causing economic hardships for millions of Americans, the work of Urban Land Conservancy is even more vital for low- and moderate-income communities facing displacement in and around the city.”
